Nearly a decade later, Master Skywalker and his son, Ben were investigating a disturbance in the Maw when the pair stumbled across the mysterious Sinkhole Station; the same station Skywalker's wayward nephew had visited five years before. Exploring the space station, the Skywalkers discovered a group of people known as the Mind Walkers, many of them seemingly empty shells. Among them, Ryontarr was the most amicable to speak and introduced Master Skywalker to the techniques used by the Mind Walkers. Ryontarr convinced Skywalker to travel with him to a realm of the Force called beyond shadows to discover what Skywalker's nephew Darth Caedus had seen when he visited the site five years before. While beyond shadows, Ryontarr's body died, but his Force essence still served as a guide to the elder Skywalker to the many places beyond shadows which Caedus had seen half a decade prior.[1]
